Juve captain Chiellini encourages De Ligt to snub Chelsea interest

Italy and Juventus captain Chiellini has urge Netherland defender De Ligt to disregard interest from English side Chelsea.

“He looks like Thor and I hope he can be the successor to the BBC defence," said Chiellini, referring to his legendary combination with Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli.

“If he had been Italian, it would've been easier to keep hold of him for many years. I hope Mino (Raiola) can do us a favour and leave him in Turin for a few more years.

“He has gigantic muscles and legs, but the real difference is made in his mentality. De Ligt is 22 years old, but has the mind of a 30-year-old who still wants to improve himself every day.

“I adore him, having seen De Ligt both as an opponent and then a teammate. He's really great."
